GOP heads in a new direction?

1. GOP elects a New National Party Chairman
Meet former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele.  His Mission (in my opinion):  Keep the Republicans from continuing to self destruct in a wave of Rush and Palin.  Here’s 10 things you didn’t know about him from before McCain selected a VP.  (From The Washington Times and US News and World Report)

2. 55% of Republicans think the GOP should be MORE like Palin
To use words recently said by House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) who was, of course, talking about a totally and completely different subject at the time…  My reaction would be:  “Oh… my… God.”  (from Hot Air)

3. She’s gonna BLOW!
So there’s this volcano in Alaska… and it’s about to go off… no one is really sure how big, or how bad.  (From the LA Times with one HELL of a picture)

4. Octuplet’s Mom already has six kids.
And she lives with her Mother, who filed for bankruptcy last year.  I really don’t know if this is any of our business… but why is a woman with six kids having fertility treatments for a seventh?  But again, I really don’t know if this is any of our business, or it’s just a convienant freak show story the networks can get web hits out of.  So click away.  (from ABC News)

#2 #2  #2 REAL BAD -  Pearl Jam Guitarist gives quite the description of his digestive problems, wants access to your restroom.
He’s got Crohn’s disease and he’s lobbying for a law that would allow emergency access to private bathrooms in businesses.  “Imagine the worst diarrhea you’ve ever had, and then times it by 10, with a knife in it”  Wow… that’s… yeah, go ahead man, use my toilet.  Loved “Ten” by the way.  (From the Seattle Times)
